Mailinator Alternate Domains

There is a perpetual list of alternate domains that receive mailinator email. That is, if you find a site bans mailinator.com (after several years, its surprising how few actually do) you can use one of these instead - then still check the email at www.mailinator.com:

Hi Paul,Here's my take from the list-owner pov. At first I got irritated at these disposable email services.

People who want access to my site and/or my ebook can sign up for "free".

But with mailinator et al I have no way of staying in touch with them afterwards, even though I use a double opt-in aweber system which they can bail from anytime.

The other thing that bothered me was that I felt as if they were labelling me as a spammer without even giving me a try.

I thought of banning you and others but then I figured why bother.

If they really get some value out of my ebook or my site then they'll come back. It's up to me to give them that value... although now and then it's real tempting to hit delete on the odd disposable address I see coming through :)
